Sandra Naujoks Out Kicked

[user628]

German Sandra Naujoks, who has caught more than the stray eye of many an opponent the last two days, just got herself on the wrong end of a kicker battle with Neil Channing, her KJ being outdone by Channing's AJ, and Naujoks is down to about 7,000.

Level: 12

Blinds: 1,000/2,000

Ante: 300

That Can't Do

[user76023]

Brandon Cantu raises from the cutoff and Costa Artemi makes the call from the button. On the flop of {A-Spades}

Cantu bets 4,000 and Artemi raises to 22,000. Cantu makes the call before checking to his opponent on the {J-Diamonds}

turn. After a minute's deliberation, Artemi announces he's all-in and Cantu immediately calls with {Q-Spades}

for the flopped 2nd nut flush. Artemi shows {A-Hearts}

for top two pair but the river is the {J-Spades}

making Artemi a full house as Cantu lets out an anguished cry.

Artemi now has around 120,000 while Cantu has been knocked right back down to 35,000.

John Juanda Eliminated

[user4144]

As I was scouring the table for chip counts, Tim Pennington and John Juanda selfishly interrupted the process by playing a pot. All the chips went in on a {6-Spades}

flop, Juanda's {9-Spades}

in need of divine assistance against Pennington's {J-Hearts}

. The

turn teased, but the counterfeiting {6-Clubs}

river triggered more "oooohs" than a Carry On film and spelled the end for Juanda.

Bott Spanked

[user76023]

Just as I was chomping on a banana and walnut muffin given to me by James Akenhead (not a big banana fan which will be bad for his seratonin levels frankly), I was alerted to Kristian Jergensen's all-in push preflop for around 17,000 from the cutoff. Ian Bott called all in from the small blind flipping {A-Spades}

ahead of the {10-Hearts}

that Jergensen produced. But the board refused to be favorable to the young Englishman, coming {5-Spades}

sending him to the rail and making Jergensen's stack a lot more comfortable.

Scrabbleman Strikes

[user4144]

More action than a night on the tiles with the Devilfish at the moment, the last yelp of excitement deriving from Negreanu's table where the complicatedly named Xavier Laszcz (surely warrants the moniker 'Scrabbleman') doubled through with {A-Diamonds}

versus

on a subsequent {A-Spades}

board.

Laszcz now has 60,000.

Halioua, Goodbye

[user4144]

Mike Halioua has been eliminated by Ian Woodley, his sixes failing to unravel the Londoner's pocket cowboys on a very raggy board.

Woodley now on circa 40,000 in chips.
